“Catrin has been with me through so many different phases, traumas, and crises, she has helped me to find a way out and up to the surface again. She has an ability to see what I cannot see myself, in an empathic and apparent manner, given me tools to handle what comes my way” (Translated)

“In the midst of a complete crises we reached out to Catrin for guidance and help in the process of ending our marriage. She helped us create a new relationship based on respect and friendship so that we can co-parent in peace.”
“All of a sudden I was there. Menopause, divorce, and adult children moving out of the nest. Who am I? What have I done with my life? What do I do now? My questions were as numerous as my tears. In my therapy with Catrin, I found my way back to joy and excitement for life, and slowly but surely built my self-esteem. Finally I could begin to see myself and listen to my inner will. Now my life is about me!” (Translated)
“There is no-one else like Catrin. She is exceptionally wise. Her intuition for knowing how to listen and direct in such a calm but firm way is profound. My husband has never particularly warmed to any counselors we had prior, until we met Catrin. She saved our marriage, has helped us direct our lives in a more balanced and healthy way and also helped us see the importance of getting a family home. Catrin is a remarkably cool person. We have so much respect and love for Catrin and are so grateful to have had the opportunity to be introduced to her.”
Individual Conversational Therapy
Did your parents play an active role in your upbringing during your formative years? The diverse approaches to parenting can shape varied attachment styles in individuals as they mature into adults. What does your attachment style resemble? How does your upbringing continue to exert influence over your present decisions, relationships, and determination? Do you find yourself aligned with your own desires?
By examining both Eastern and Western philosophies on how childhood experiences shape adulthood, as well as addressing trauma and navigating crises, we can uncover the roots of your emotions and behaviors. This exploration will provide insight into why you think and act as you do.
Couples and Relationship Therapy
In couples and relationship therapy, we acknowledge the presence of three key entities: You, Me, and the dynamic entity of our "We." Together, we collaborate to craft a relationship style that resonates with each individual involved. Whether you find yourselves navigating a period of separation, undergoing developmental changes, or simply aiming to establish a sturdy foundation for a fulfilling and enduring partnership, our sessions are tailored to meet your specific needs.
Recognizing that relationships play a crucial role in individual well-being, we address various fundamental human needs, including shared experiences, validation, understanding, intimacy, and the profound connection of love. Our aim is to foster an environment where each person feels valued and supported, ultimately paving the way for a harmonious and enriching life together.
